I know that when I started on MFP, seeing progress pics and before & afters really kept me motivated. I took a few pictures for my 33rd birthday and compared them to pictures from my 32nd birthday. It has been 8 months (but actually 6 months because I took a 2 month break due to a family emergency) and I have lost 39.4 lbs! My actual birthday is Wednesday and I hope to get the 0.6 lbs gone by then. If not, I know it will happen next week and that is close enough for me =)

Here is me on my 32nd birthday in April 2010:

Here is me on my pre 33rd birthday in April 2011. I am down -39.6 lbs and 4 dress sizes!!

Here is the dress I really wore...finally a single digit dress!

I want to thank all my MFP friends because without you and your support, I could not have done this!

    The visual realization of what almost 40 lbs. gone looks like is so powerful. The blue dress is totally falling off of you.......and in only 8 months. Congratulations and thanks for posting the pics.
